Brilliant gesture from Hayes. Footballers get stick for being greedy but Jonny Hayes went out his way to make sure he could get a return to our club.Quote:

Why would you sell McKenna who is a first team regular central defender and replace him with a forward player....it’s not McInnes at all?! Don’t be surprised if Cosgrove is sold before McKenna. You heard it here first. XD
I would've thought Hayes is a replacement for Leigh and Gallagher. Looks like the transfer window might get extended into October so I can't see there being much activity in terms of mid-size transfer fees until the end of summer at the earliest when everyone's got a better idea of how things are going to be going into the new season. The big £100m transfers will likely still happen, and out of contract players will probably still move around - but English Championship level teams who spend a few million on players will probably hold off.Quote:

I'd be more confident of his value continuing to rise than McKenna and Cosgrove's - we might be wise to cash in on them.
We sold anybody yet during this transfer window?
Didn’t think so
Tomas Cerny signs up for another season.
He is a great photographer.Quote:

It's from the Sun so make of it what you will but Club accept £2.7 Million bid for Cosgrove from Guingamp but Sam turns down the move.

Seems reasonable price in the current climate.Quote:

How much would McInnes get to get a replacement as we’d definitely need one.
Given that he's young, still improving, has scored a heap of goals in the last 18months, I suppose you would expect at least a couple million for him. I still don't rate him though and part of me is still amazed that we could get that kind of money for him. I would guess we'll accept anything over £2m and I reckon we'd be wise to do that - his value could easily plummet if he has a poor opening few months to the new season, which is highly possible.Quote:

Bruce Anderson - great finisher, but not really a McInnes type striker, unless we go 2 up top in some games
Connor McLennan - I'd actually quite like to see him play through the middle, he's got the physical attributes, and he's a good finisher, but I'm not sure he has the game intelligence.
The likes of McGinn, Wright and Hedges can play just behind the striker, but I don't think any of them could play right up top where Cosgrove plays.
Haven't seen anything of the lad at Dunfermline that seems to be attracting a lot of interest from Dundee Utd, Hibs - maybe he's someone we should've been looking at.
